I missed esptool in my Arduino IDE1.6.5 for Mac.

I tried both under URLs in 'Additional Boards Manager URLs'.
http://arduino.esp8266.com/package_esp8 ... index.json http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/pack ... index.json

Would you teach me how to install the right IDE and URL?

If you need more post more detail and I will try to help.

Its in packages/esp8266/tools/esptool or should be I think

Is it enough to select the ESP8266 board, port? In this what is the programmer I need to use? The default? AVRISP mkII?
